"We're here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U," Miyamoto said through an interpreter, "so don't worry about that."

Miyamoto continued, "My thing with E3 is that we always focus on what's coming out in the immediate future. We have some really great Zelda footage and, at some point we will be showing that off, but not today."

We're still not clear if Zelda Wii U will receive the same treatment as Zelda: Twilight Princess, an installment that released on Wii and the previous generation GameCube console.

Miyamoto is the General Manager of Nintendo's Entertainment and Analysis division. He has created a string of influential games and characters during his career including Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Star Fox.

Earlier today, Nintendo revealed Star Fox Zero to the public for the first time. The Japanese game maker also announced a special partnership with Activision to bring Bowser and Donkey Kong to Skylanders: SuperCharged.
